Current Tune: A Whole New World (Aladdin)
Oh oh oh!! *flexing those non-existant arm muscles* Finished reading the sections in the literature book on irony and humor. Those short stories were amazing, simply amazing. ^_^ I don't know, the other ones which deal with characterization and point of view kind of escaped me. ha. hahaa. But irony, humor, theme, and symbol! *melts* My favorite types! I also think that because Leigh and I point to everything and say it is symbolism might help me. :)
Got a very nice e-mail from Gillian2282 aka Sara today. ^_^ I admit that I am my own worse critique and worry about others opinions sometimes but it is just the point of enjoying writing. ^_^ Course, I don't enjoy writing for school or such... ~_~ One of my many faults is a low self-esstem, something I am working at. Urgh. I constantly tell my five older brothers that they are the cause of it. HA! Oh well, feeling good this weekend. :) :) :)
Feels like dancing, eh he he he! Last night in the rain Noah took apart part of the deck and had me help me take buckets full of water out from under the deck. The basement has been flooding. -_- ye-haw. I guess that is what happens when you live in the stereotypical rain state. ha! Common joke in this territory: "We have two seasons: warm rain and cold rain." ANYWAY! Noah and Mom were outside today trying to re-route something-or-other, cut down a few of the trees (single tear), and tried to basically fix the problem. I ventured forth after Math homework to see if I could help (in my o'so-stylish black warm ups with a bright blue strip down the side pants, hunter green polar fleece, and brown stripped shirt... I'll be the next GQ model, just you wait). Ended up helping them murder a tree. Grr.
Noah just walked in saying, "How long do you plan on being on?" "Er...?" He needs to call his boss... Anne too hyper!!! Weee!!! This is the reason Anne shouldn't have chocolate and try and study all day. EHEHEH!!! <-- extrememly happy. :D
Current Tune: Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin)
Viking Kitties!!!!! Omigosh that is hilarious. :p I've been showing it to family and friends for the past day. :p I just showed it to Mom who commented, "See, that is what you could do in animation!" ~_~ Woman, I'm still undecided. I mean, if I think I want to go into animation suddenly the prospects in graphic design are better. ~_~ I have until October to decide (that is if I get in... @_@)
Speaking of getting into the Art Institute they called me Thursday. O_o I was doing my math homework when suddenly, dun dun dun, Noah told me the phone was for me. GASP! They have my application and they are processing it, wanted to know which field I was going into (though I can change it later), and that she would try to call me once they find out (though if they can't call me they will definately send me a letter). dun dun dun! The suspense! But she said that it looks like I've got a good application so will probably get in. ~_~ She better not have said that they crush my hopes, that would be just plain mean.
I've done three updates on fanfics in the past week which is some sort of freak thing out of the blue for me. O_O I think that since I can currently write (of sorts) that I can't draw. ~_~ Urgh. Been trying to draw all week and failing at that. I also think when I'm stressed and thinking of all the work I *should* be doing it doesn't help me be able to draw. Take this Political Science book! *kick!* Take this Math book! *kick* Take this Math final! *rip!* And take this Experience of Literature book! *kick* Probably shouldn't kick the last one since it's a 1000 plus page hard cover book.. O_o
Current Tune: Friend Like Me (Aladdin)
I have a card with the genie in a white tux coming out of his mouth from that song, thus the current tune. :p Just got home from Japanese, had a quiz... think I did okay (I think...). I hate grammar, grr. I suck at English grammar too (as many people already know).
Madeline is sitting infront of the computer screen thus I can't see what I am writing. herrrm. I think I was so depressed this weekend since I had free time to mope about. Now that I have zero time again (hehe, school) I am not as down and bitter. Interesting.. keeping myself busy means I won't be mean/as cynical.
I think my depression last weekend scared some of my friends away. sniff sniff, sorry. ~_~ People are pissed about there not being enough V/H in the fic (i.e. Changing Seasons). Hoohoohoo, just you wait. Because of someone I will have some action yet will not change the ending from what I have planned. Hoohoohoo. I think I thought of a better summary for Prescription. Hoohoohoo (<-- doing impression of my friend Missu's laugh, it was sooo cute and funny).
Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to go read the American constitution, do do do do do do do do, argh argh....
Current Mood: Pissed off
Yeah, no current tune, I'm just pissed off at everything in general. ~_~ Why am I so fucking moody this weekend!? I think it is the general impression that no matter how much effort I put into stuff people who do a half-assed job are appricated more. I won't go into examples or anything but it happens all the time and I'm finally really pissed off about it. GRRR!
I went downtown today with Hayley, that was good and took me off my anti-life campaign (anti-my-life campaign that is). It was interesting my thoughts while driving. When I got off the freeway and it turned into Bothell the speed limit went from 60 to 35 rapidly, however people didn't do it until they went around this one corner where cops usually wait. I hate driving. I hate writing. I hate studying. I hate my life in general.
With those sentiments one would think I'm suicidal... hm.. nah, just a bitter individual ready for some come back! You lazy people who don't put effot into anything, WORK DAMN YOU! urrrrrgh. I think I get pissy when I do Political Science reading. ~_~
Current Tune: Rhythm Of The Night (Moulin Rouge)
GRR!! *kicks the stuffing out of the wall* I hate my life sometimes. ;_; I don't know, peeved about my writing, again, what else is new. ^_^ Having a hard time typing since I managed to mess up my wrist. ~_~ It usually happens every spring with my right wrist but for some reason my left one hurt, thus it is wrapped up at the moment. I think it was from typing too much yesterday... I was born was naturally messed up wrists. wee.
MEGUMI called yesterday morning!!!!! Total surprise, was very happy to hear from her! I haven't talked to her since about, oh, June when she went back to Japan! She graduates soon (grr), has a part time job, gets along with her sister, and is forgetting English. :p Her English is still much better than my Japanese though (kanashii na). Want to write her a long letter now! *_* Alas, I still have Political Science and English reading to do. Only about twelve more pages of English, forty-nine more of Political Science. ehehe. weee.
Current Tune: Graduation (Vitamin C)
Just watched Heavenly Creatures, feel so utterly dirty and wrong.....
Current Tune: I Want to Return Home to You (Zard)
single tear. I hate the weekends since it actually gives me time to mope about in self pity. *sigh* I wish I were a better writer. I need to stop worrying about reviews but that makes me think that my writing isn't all that bad. urgh. Guess it just is. Same with my art! *kicks watercolor tablet*
Mom and I went on a walk with Sierra and Midnight around the neighborhood. We tried to teach Sierra "heal", however that totally escapes the dog. ~_~ I even tied the leash around my middle but the dog can obviously pull my weight (which makes me feel not all that fat. :D). Mom hadn't been around the parts of the neighborhood in years and commented on how the houses have changed (painted, cut down trees (those bastards)).
Pathetic pathetic pathetic existance. I hate when I get in my suicidal moods. urgh. Stuff I enjoy I suck at (boo hoo, pity party, can imagine the little rain cloud appearing above head). Was going to work on Changing Seasons, however Prescription for Love just pissed me off enough I'm not in the mood to write! Grr!!!! Damn depression, perhaps I need medication. ~_~
Current Tune: the hum of the Mac
Madeline and I are bonding at the moment. She is meowing, I'm petting her, we're all happy. My cat can be a pretty cute dingleberry sometimes, sitting on the chair and staring out into the dark corners of the house. Aww, Maddie!!
Went to Hayley, that was so fun shit tonight. We made rosemary chicken with onions (salut to the Weight Watchers cookbook, must go get that), and cookies (which totally added the fat we missed at dinner). Watched some weird alien movie (while we were cooking so not really watching it), and I *finally* saw When Harry Met Sally.... That was a cute movie, one of those rare few Hollywood movies that isn't all about lust.
I got an e-mail from Kao-chan asking if she could post Prescription for Love on her website. Feeling very honored, I love that website. ^_^ eheeheeheee!
Hayley's parents saw Chicago, her Mom didn't really like it. Hmm, ah well, still want to see it. Mumble mumble, capitialistic pleasures, mumble... think need to go to bed now, falling over, wee! :D
Current Tune: Rose Tint My World (Rocky Horror)
I was a healthy little person today. ^_^ I took Sierra for a walk around the neighboorhood which took thirty minutes then took Midnight on a walk right afterwards (same path, and I was tired) and that only took twenty-three minutes. Not to say that Sierra stops frequently.. ~_~
I'm waiting for Ingrid and Michelle to finish reading my new fanfic. *very scared* She hasn't talked in almost an hour... that can be interpreted on so many levels... O_o Although the thing is 3,000 plus words. er, yes. *SNAP* <-- song. Going to Hayley's tonight, going to be fun. ^_^ It would be even more fun if she lived closer (right Hayley, it would be easier!).
Back to my Hollywood lust-love thing, I thought of more examples. In Anime: Fushigi Yugi; Hollywood/cartoon: Balto. How come when I want to bitch about it I can't think of better titles? ~_~ Yes, you know what was going through Balto's head through the movie (I mean, they're DOGS afterall).
Current Tune: My First Love (Uehara Takako)
AHHH! Very very excited! The next Harry Potter book is coming out on June 21st! Gya! Must pre-order it, must read... O_O
Other than that, there has been this issue in my mind for the past few days. Hollywood and their view on love. For example, the movie Moulin Rouge. Don't get my wrong, I love that movie, just find it weird that the Hollywood image of what love is can be easily defined as lust. There are many examples of it, like Titanic, Sleeping Beauty, et al. ~_~ I don't know, love and lust seem like they go together yet are not the same definition. urgh
Don't want to go to Political Science and English today. T_T Political Science, however, we are going to be at a lecture/presentation thingy about Civil Rights and the true meaning of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That won't be that bad but I hate crowds. T_T I think many people are going to this thing... crowds scare me... O_o Yes, I know, anti-social Anne. *_* noooooo.
Current Tune: Empty the Pocket (Escaflowne)
Eyes burn!!! *screaming* The screen randomly turns bright green. ~_~ It's getting annoying, what's wrong with this computer? V. peeved.
Had a quiz in Japanese today. It was probably too simple and I messed it up somehow. I've been known to do that. I missed two points (and got 96/100 on the make-up test, sniff sniff) since I didn't check the exponents well enough. Basically I make stupid mistakes and that's why I miss points. ~_~
Congrats to Hayley (aka Cleetus) for getting into Wazzu!!! :D :D :D I knew you could!! See, my nightmare about you not getting in didn't happen! Very happy for you! :) It actually inspired me to work on my application for the art institute. ^_^ Tomorrow I'm going to search for scholarships, oooooh boy. ^_^
I've been working on a new fanfic for the past hour. ~_~ I hate how it's turning out thus far. Urgh. Course, I always hate stuff I do... ~_~ But bah, I don't know, it's not going anywhere and it's on page two. Sniff sniff, Ingrid, why did you have to sign off! Now I can't work anymore. I'll go back to reading some Harry Potter, perhaps that will calm me down so I can work on the fanfic later this week. bwhahas.
Current Tune: (silence)
I babysat today, yeeeehaw. Sense the excitement that radiates from me! For about two hours they played on the computer (I started to fall asleep) and after I finally convinced them to get off the computer they ran around smacking each other, ignoring me, and being weirdos (as usual). About an hour later then FINALLY started listening to me (and my threats) and we played some Harry Potter Uno! I haven't played Uno in a long while however Mitch kept on making up rules (despite the ones I've been playing with when I learned them in Japan almost two years ago).
Whole family is out at dinner to celebrate Noah's birthday (which was last Tuesday). Anne sits at home all alone, single tear. I've actually been reading my English book (characterization and three short stories, thus far two out of three are pretty bad). I have a Japanese quiz tomorrow on katakana and how to tell time. Now worried about it (I've been able to tell time since I lived there, katakana I might actually have to study some since its been so long).
Funny! Leigh and I were looking at the website last night and kept on laughing. ^_^ Felt so special when she IM'ed me last night (and that she actually likes Leigh and my stuff... we (okay, maybe I did) had this theory that everyone hated out stuff.... ^_^;;)). Want to write something tonight... should finish reading English crap (or I could take it to school since I'm there half an hour early.... hmm....) and study some Japanese (notecards, can study them during gym). Perhaps I'll write something. *random judo stance like Mary Sue* Hi-ya!
Current Tune: YMCA (Village People)
I was productive today (laugh). I sat around reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, seriously catching up with my old friend. :) I also got my math homework done since I have to babysit tomorrow, fun! I went over to Leigh's and scanned some of my fanart (and started our website, bwhahah). We got the mighty ferrboozard picture scanned and FTP'ed out. ^_^ I can see you all shaking in your boots now. rawr. It's sad, I got thirteen hours of sleep last night and am already tired. Cursed be the day. sigh.
